The article of a journalist in a pan-Cypriot newspaper of June 21, 2020 caused sadness, disappointment and great anger to the people of Famagusta.
In a Municipal Press Release the article is characterized as unhistorical, unjustified, inaccurate in some points and unworthy of any refutation, especially, as mentioned, regarding the events of 1974, since fortunately some of those who experienced those dark days of betrayal are still alive. and humiliation.
Beyond any logic, his diligent avoidance should be referred to all those who were lost in those days, defending both Famagusta and Cyprus, as well as the other conscripts of the city and the province who were fighting with their nails and teeth on other fronts ", the bulletin continues.
"The condemnation of the journalist, the women and children and the civilians in general, who did not remain to be raped and slaughtered just to increase the list of victims, continues."
However, questions are expressed by the members of the Municipality in the bulletin, it also creates the position that one can imply through what is written, that is, the homeland of the native is not Famagusta as well as all the other Cyprus.
According to him, Famagusta always refers only to the people of Famagusta, who, because some really betrayed this place in 1974 and left Ammohosto and the whole of Cyprus unfortified, should be sentenced to life imprisonment, all of them. The people of the city are as simple as the rest of our displaced and expelled compatriots!
It is also questionable when the journalist chose to tell the people of Famagusta that "… they do not deserve to be allowed to return…" fully identifying with the positions of Turkey and its settlers who seek with tricks and force that give them the weapons to colonize the fenced area of the city "
Famagusta is Cyprus, it is emphasized, while below it is mentioned that without Famagusta unfortunately we will lose our entire homeland.
And for us, our homeland is all of Cyprus, from Paphos to Ap. Andreas and from Larnaca to Kyrenia, every city, every village, every bit.
They call on the demographer to apologize after the following words:
"We call on you to recall and apologize and at the same time we call on the newspaper's management to be much more careful in the future with the articles of its contributors, especially when it comes to such sensitive issues."
